SUGGESTIONS FOR STORY HOURS FOR LITTLE CHILDREN.

The following programs for story hours for the
little children are suggestive only. It is desirable
that the best folk tales be repeated as often as the
children desire, and that poems should be read or
recited in connection with the stories where there is
a response. The little children should never be held
longer than half an hour, and twenty minutes is
better. The stories to be told together are numbered
1 and 2. This grouping may be changed
